herceptin and tamoxifen

Iwas receiving chemo with herceptin and chemo was stopped May 15th. Now receiving Herceptin iv every 3wks and tamoxifen only. How safe is this and what are the risk statistics for recovery?

Thank you for your response. I'm seeing the oncologist nurse today with my herceptin treatment today. I'm definately bringing this up.

This is a question that you need to ask your Oncologist. I doubt that he/she would prescribe any combination of drugs that would be considered unsafe and only he/she would be able to assess the stats as far as recovery is concerned. Each and every aspect of your personal medical history as well as everything associated with your particular situation would need to be considered when determining recovery percentages. If I were you I would bring up the subject at your next Oncology visit.   Regards ....
